Im doing a 5 lug swap usuing TL-S fronts im sure you have all seen this before a million times but im doing it anyway. This is my first DIY so feel free to pick it apart LOL. Also im on a budget having one 3 year old and another on the way, I know all what SHOULD be changed but unfortunately I can go insane like I would love to.
So far I gathered rear V6 knuckles pads rotors calipers the pads seem fairly new so im not changing them just clean it all and go. I paid 70 bucks for this setup and the guy gave me a new oem V6 proportioning valve and master cylinder I don't know if the V6 has any difference from the 4 cly it looks totally identical (anybody know if the masters are different?)

A little bit of cleaning with some help from my old pal Budweiser LOL
So next on my venture to the auto wrecker I gathered my V6 E-Brake cables and 2003 TL-S front knuckles pads rotors (cross drilled and slotted) and calipers all for 100 bucks cant go wrong! I thought the pads looked new but it had a bunch of build up so I gotta get the rotors turned and new pads no biggie..
I cleaned one of them as you can see

and here is all of them sort of cleaned I broke my 3 foot extension bar trying to get the last axel nut off so I just tore it out

Calipers all cleaned and off for paint

So now I built a rack to hold my calipers I used a duplicolor caliper paint kit the brush they give you is a piece of S#@! the bristles kept falling out but thankfully I was drunk so I didn't care but anyways this is how they turned out
